📢 Headline: The Biggest Job Drop Since 2020: Is the U.S. Labor Market at a Turning Point? 📉

The latest employment data is in, and the numbers for October 2025 are sending shockwaves through the market. With a net loss of 105,000 jobs, this marks the sharpest decline in employment since the pandemic era.

Here’s what you need to know about the October shift:

🏛️ The Federal Factor: The primary driver was a massive reduction in federal payrolls, with 162,000 government workers exiting following a wave of resignation packages.

🚫 A Data Blackout: Due to a government shutdown during the survey period, the official unemployment rate for October was never released. However, when data resumed in November, the rate hit 4.6%.

🏗️ The Silver Lining: While manufacturing and hospitality took hits, the Health Care and Construction sectors continued to show resilience, adding jobs despite the broader downturn.

Is this a temporary correction or a sign of a deeper economic cooling?
